Cricketwood Country Bed and Breakfast, Bend

It was very quiet, clean and romantic. Every aspect of this bed and breakfast was perfect. We went for our 12th anniversary and wanted a romantic, relaxing, peacful break from our busy lives. This Bed and Breakfast was just that. Jim and Tracy made us feel welcome and like family instead of guests the minute we walked in the door. We never once felt uncomfortable or out of place. We felt comfortable like we were in our own home. This gave us the ability to relax and enjoy the sunshine and views. I would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast to any couple. It is well worth the money.

If you are looking for privacy, quietness, and excellent hosts, this is the place. And best of all, they accomodate pets in one of their rooms.

The Champagne Chalet was our honeymoon destination, a complete surprise planned by my groom. It was our perfect honeymoon get-a-way. Completely private, romantic, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. The location is great - close to town, far enough away not to hear any traffic. The owners showed us to our location and didn't bother us for three days! This is the place to go to be refreshed and spend time quality time with your loved one. We didn't want to leave!

This was our first time at a B/B and can not wait to return. Everything about our stay was outstanding. The food was first rate, served to our room promply when we requested it, piping hot and delicious. Our room was extremely clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything we needed for a great time. If there is the #1 place to stay if coming to Bend Oregon this would be the place.

We were driving from Boise to Bend for 1 last night away from home. After looking at the hotels in Bend and not being that excited I decided to checkout the B&B's. Cricketwood had a great website with lots of info, pics and even some video. I was impressed right away - they had options for breakfast and a jacuzzi for the ultimate relaxation. I did go back to my search and found for my money this was the place to go. I called and Jim got back to me right away - we were set. It is a little out of town which was nice and they have great directions. When we arrived my husband saw some disc golf baskets which was a huge hit. Jim and Tracy were super nice - he showed us the place - how to work everything, order breakfast and how many cookies we wanted that night. They have all sorts of other little perks - a beverage fridge. a movie library, jacuzzi, direction to restaurants, internet access, guitar in the living room, etc. For dinner they recommended a great little restaurant the Phoenix Cafe. Again they had excellent directions on getting around town. That night we chilled in the jacuzzi under a nearly full moon and had a great sleep. The next morning we were served our beverage of choice to our door and breakfast when we wanted it. The breakfast was amazing - good portions, very tasty. The only bummer is we couldn't stay longer.

Where to start? This, our third visit to Cricketwood Bed and Breakfast and enjoying the friendship of Tracy and Jim has been the best of all our trips to Bend, Oregon. We’re annual visitors to the area, having stayed in other bed and breakfast inns we have found Jim and Tracy’s Cricketwood to be the Nordstrom’s of B & Bs. We’re spoiled now and cannot begin to consider any other location to stay while visiting the Bend area. To us, why stay in an impersonal hotel or motel when you can be pampered to your heart’s desire by Tracy and Jim? Unbelievable customer first focused attention, they strive to make each guest’s visit the most enjoyable possible. We cannot begin to list all the amenities and special treats they offer, almost all of it complementary but here’s a small sample. Excellent cold beer, soft drinks, water, wine available at any hour, free of charge. Fresh baked cookies, tasty hot chocolate delivered to your door each night (but you don’t just have to have hot chocolate, perhaps coffee or decaf is more to your liking, no problem). Hot fresh coffee delivered to your door each morning as you dress so you may prepare yourself to sit down and enjoy a gourmet breakfast made when you want, as you want. After a day of skiing, hiking or just touring Bend, there’s the hot tub under the stars in the evening. We love to watch the clouds and stars pass over while relaxing and letting our bodies soak in the soothing warmth of the water. Then to fall into a soft, pillow topped bed so comfortable you’ll be fast asleep in no time and ready to enjoy another day just like the first all over again. That was only a small sampling of the many amenities available but first and foremost is wonderful care and attention furnished by Jim and Tracy. We consider them our friends as well as our hosts and they really do make each of our visits special. They are the reason why we’ll keep coming back to Cricketwood year after year.

The separate chalet offers privacy and peace and quiet. It is so hard to find a quality place that allows dogs. Our 2 standard poodles had the best time and we all were able to really relax. Lots of acreage to romp and play. Close to town. An oasis of tranquility. We plan to return on a regular basis. Jim and Tracy provide maps and restaurant menus with reviews to allow lots of choices. Comfortable beds and thick towels. We didn't want to leave.

My husband and I absolutely loved this B&B for so many reasons. The room was huge, very clean, comfortable, PERFECT! The breakfast menu is huge and fantastic. There are so many food and beverage choices, it's crazy! The location is great because it's close enough to downtown, but still in the country. The innkeepers are super friendly and go the extra mile ++++ to make their guest's stay one to remember. We are definitely spoiled now for future accomodations...I don't know if we'll ever find a B&B quite this wonderful.

The innkeepers have thought of everything. Not only are the rooms super confortable, but you get cookies in the evening (delivered to your door) and a special breakfast in the morning that you oder, when you want it. We are now totally spoiled for any other B&B. The location is close enough to downtown Bend, but you feel like you're in the country. You won't be disappointed.
